Sorry I meant 52 or 54?

My car is a phase 3 (1997 model) Any idea what mine will be 42 or 44? How can I check?

Cheers Ben. Fred I am going to Merry Hill Ripspeed. just got to find it now!

Taking my car in to ripspeed this week to have the torsion bar lowered and front springs fitted. The guy quoted me £45 per hour and said it would take between 1-2 hours depending on how siezed up the torsion bar was. As I am a mechanical dumbass, I was wondering if someone could explain...

Anyone got these? Carnoisseur do them and they seem pretty good value for money. Just wondered what the ride is like. At the moment my suspension is standard but I have got a pair od Spax 35mm springs which are going on this week as well as torsion bar coming down a click. Ive heard the...

Just wondering if theres any chance you could let me have a pic of your car and see how it looks? Also is your car lowered/how much by? Thanks for any help I really appreciate it. Ben

Thanks for the help mate. Ive just reset the crossovers and it sounds much better! Im very pleased with the results. Thanks again

Cheers mate, I was worried that if I has my 6x9s giving a full range output that they might not sound very good with all the bass coming from the 2 subs. Someone told me that the bass notes can cancel eachother out or something? I will try it though, as I think youre right, I do seem to have...

Okay Ive just about finished my boot install and thankfully everything is working ok. The problem is I dont know how to set up my amplifier levels/gains to work most effectively and was hoping somebody might be able to help me do this. Below is all the info about my system: Head unit 3 x...

Oh my god that has to be the longest post ever! (Sorry)

In my opinion the Hill Power induction kit takes some beating. It might be a bit more expensive at around £100 but its specifically designed to reduced warm air reaching the filter, which would otherwise cause nasty flat spots and a decrease in performance. As for an exhaust, I have an...

How do you drill the holes in the pedals? Do you need to remove them or do you put something behind them to stop them pressing down when you pusg the drill onto them?

For a 1997 RT running 15" alloys? Would it be: 195/45/15 195/50/15 something else? thanks

Can I get those pics too mate, Ive hit a rut with my install. Cheers B_Parfitt@hotmail.com

Im in the middle of a DIY install. Nothing too flashy, just a couple of 12" subs, 3 amps and a couple of neons. I am using a load of MDF to make a false floor and side panels to mount the amps on to. I dont want to drill any holes in my bodywork so it can be a bit tricky, but its well...

What differences did it make and was it worth the money? cant decide whether to mod my engine a bit more seriously or leave it and either sell the car for a faster one at a later date, or get a transplant.

How many cars do you have?! Now you want to sell me that 130bhp 1.4 engine dont you? LOL

Yeah I agree. In Fast Car this month they look quite good. But I found those pics and they look very shabby. As people have already said, maybe if your car was quite smart and you had your modifications done properly it would look good.

I would have a go at this but my paint sprayng technique is absolute crap. I can never get an even coat. I might just pay to have them colour coded as Ive been quoted £40 by a local bodyshop.

Did you take the rubbing strips off to paint them? How much did it cost in paint etc?

What does everybody have on their cars?

that sounds well tasty. I know what you mean about changing your mind. I do it all the time. Im having a dilema now as to what to spend my cash on. O

What mirrors do you reckon would suit a phase 3 clio? I dont want M3 coz they have been done to death. Was thinking about DTM style ones. What do you think about the mirrors indicator lights in them? Also do you think carbon fibre effect or body colour? (The car is Williams blue)...

Sounds quality. I would love to see it when its done.

Nah mate, not where, were! I couldnt remember what Jon was having done to his car. hey fred, have you seen his bonnet yet? Does it look good?

Cheers everyone. Hey Jon, I rang Lionel last week to ask him about fitting skirts and a splitter. I also asked him about colour coding a few bits and pieces. The problem is Im not sure exactly what I want to do yet. I though I might go up and see him when I get back from Uni this weekend...

Cheers Nick, any Pug in particular?

2 questions. Firstly can anybody tell me where to get a decent bee sting style aerial? I want a black one so it looks factory only shorter. I have got one of those alloy short stubby things from demon tweaks but the radio reception was always really crap and now the thing has corroded and...

Thanks for all the help. I will spend a little time today setting them up properly.

Cheers mate that might help explain the following: I have just replaced my head unit. My old unit had 2x 2v pre-outs My new unit has 3x 5v pre-outs Since swapping the units over, my overall volume level has decreased dramatically. In fact unless you turn the head unit volume up to 15...
